My girlfriend is from the future!

It was evening. After Wen Liang met up with a group of friends, they drove to a hot pot restaurant where she often went to have dinner.

The red oil boiled in the hot pot, and bursts of stimulating and choking fragrance emerged. In the not-so-spacious private room, everyone was drinking and chatting, as if they had returned to that unforgettable happy time.

Over the years, all of them have changed a lot.

Boss Park is the most eye-catching, because this time, he came with his fiancée.

This old boy is now 37 and [-] years old, and he finally found his true love in the blind date battlefield where he had failed many times.

The woman is more than a round younger than him. She is almost the same age as Wen Liang, Sheng Qidong and others who are sitting here. When the two went on a blind date last year, the woman was not in a hurry at all. It was just a formality that she was forced out by her family. Considering the age disparity, Park Zhikun didn't hold out much hope, so his condition during that blind date was exceptionally good and left a good impression on the other party.

Later, when the other party knew that Park Zhikun had a guitar store and had guitar teaching courses, he signed up out of interest. Now that he had the opportunity to get along with each other often, the next thing was purely based on Park's The humor and charm that my brother showed personally.

But what surprised everyone the most was that his partner was now pregnant. This was found out not long ago. The woman's family is conservative, and marriage has become a certainty. They plan to find a good life in the next few months. , I need to get the certificate first, and as for the wedding, I may have to wait until the child is born before re-doing it.

This operation of getting on the bus first and paying for tickets later made everyone admire them. Seeing the happy look on this old man's face as his girlfriend feeds him, it must be that the love between them also has its own sweetness. Bar……

This incident was the biggest blow to the two girls. It wasn’t that they thought there was anything wrong with it. It was just that this current example of overtaking on a curve was right in front of them, which made the two of them sigh inwardly. It turns out that I have reached the age where I can get married, have children, and become a woman...

Sheng Qidong glanced at Li Wang beside him. After Wen Liang caught this detail, he smiled and asked:
"What about you two? You two have done well in the art exam training class back then. How can I say that good things are coming soon, right?"

Before Li Wang could say anything, Sheng Qidong on the side replied on behalf of her boyfriend:
"Oh, Liang, what are you talking about? You haven't even said a word about your character. I made a vow to wait for you, so it's still early for us!"

Li Wang, who used to be known as a "gentleman" in film school, has become much more mature in appearance and temperament in the past few years. When he heard his girlfriend's words, he smiled and said gently to Sheng Qidong:
"Sister Liang is currently on the rise in her career. How can any female star at this time want to fall in love and get married? We can't compare with her. Besides, we live our own lives. If you want to get married, tell me and I will do it at any time. I’m ready to marry you.”

"Wow--"

As soon as he said this, there was a sound of envy in the private room.

"Eat your old meat slices, so much meat can't stop your mouth?!"

"Don't, don't... scald, scald, scald..."

The young couple were quarreling again, and laughter continued in the private room. Wen Liang stared at Li Wang, and suddenly noticed a trace of bitterness hidden in those smiles...

This expression made her understand that Li Wang might not be as relaxed as he said.

In order to confirm her thoughts, Wen Liang raised her wine glass and suggested that everyone have a drink, and then she asked:

"Hey, Director Li, when will our movie continue filming?"

Li Wang's expression dimmed and he smiled.

Speaking of which, Wen Liang and their young couple rarely met each other in recent years.

When Wen Liang first debuted, Sheng Qidong had been her assistant, and Li Wang had been setting up a studio with a few seniors from the film school, and had been doing external work. At first, he was shooting some commercials and promotional videos. , and he has been saving money, so he plans to make a work of his own and realize his movie dream.

Don't look at the fact that students majoring in directing are like the pride of heaven in school. After leaving school, they become generals sitting on the director's chair and scolding Fang Qiu. That is just an extreme case like He Tianran, but most people who study directing, After three to five years, more than 90.00% will choose to change careers.

Because it is so difficult to make a movie. It is undoubtedly a huge gamble concerning the fate of life, and the vast majority of people are not even qualified to be on the gambling table.

This is the reality of this industry. During the two years when Wen Liang's star was dim and she was surrounded by black material, just like Wei Xing silently composed the music for her, it was not that no one of her friends thought of helping her, and the first one Standing out are the couple Li Wang and Sheng Qidong.

That year, Li Wang finally raised 30 yuan to come to her. The young director at the time was full of enthusiasm. He said that he could finally shoot what he had always wanted to shoot. After reading the script, Wen Liang was also very optimistic about the film. The prospect of the film happened to be on a schedule at that time. After arguing with Li Lan several times, he finally helped these close friends get a very low salary.

And this very low salary was one-third of Li Wang's filming cost at that time.

There was no way, after all, she had already signed a contract with the company at that time. If she could make the decision herself, she could take the photo for free.

However, this was only the first difficulty they encountered before starting production. If they wanted to shoot a movie in my country that was completely compliant and legal and could go to theaters, they first had to go through the script filing process, which could only be submitted in the name of the company. , does not accept individual declarations. This is actually a good thing. Many seniors and sisters in the film academy who have companies can help with the application. The certificate will be issued in two weeks, and the fee is 4000 yuan, all-inclusive.

But the next thing that stumps most people is that the company that produces the movie needs to prepare at least one-third of the shooting cost in cash as proof of shooting.

So, only one hundred thousand are left.

What is the concept of a movie cost of 10 yuan? If it were placed in He Tianran's "In the Wild", it would only be regarded as the cost of one shot.

Therefore, those filmmakers who pursue independent films are creating miracles at best, but it is a gamble at worst.

Of course, there are also strong people who bypass the film bureau and go straight to foreign film festivals, but even if they win an award by luck with this method, the consequences will be huge, so let’s stop the topic here.

In short, Li Wang's movie was finally launched after overcoming all difficulties. However, even though Sheng Qidong, as the producer of the movie, was moving funds around in order to provide her boyfriend and Wen Liang with good shooting conditions, the crew was still In the fourth month, there was a funding break.

Logically speaking, if such a crew can survive for four months, it is considered a success, but Li Wang is notoriously slow. He can spend three days on a scene with only one line in the script. At that time, the entire film Only two-thirds of the film's progress has been completed. Wen Liang can understand his creative pursuit, but the entire crew is not just the three of them.

Moreover, if the time here drags on for too long, the agency will call Wen Liang back to join other crews. If she doesn't go back, it will be considered a breach of contract, and she will have to pay for it.

As a result, this movie, which was filled with the dreams of several of their young people, was stillborn...

Wen Liang confirmed that Li Wang was hiding something in his expression. In order to make this movie, Sheng Qidong and Li Wang borrowed a lot of money from their families and friends after the filming started. In the past two years, the two of them have been slowly paying back To clear this debt, although their family environment is not bad, the career pursuits of Li Wang and Sheng Qidong limit the two of them to only being able to develop in "Beishang", three first-tier cities with film and television resources. , but in a place like this where land is at a premium, there will definitely be a lot of pressure when talking about marriage and the future.

Now that Wen Liang is bringing up the old story again, she just wants to help Li Wang. After all, all the material she shot was there. With her current conditions, there should be a chance for this film to come back to life.

Sure enough, Li Wang looked embarrassed when he mentioned this. He is a thin-skinned person. He agrees to everything when others ask him. But if he is asked to ask others, even if he talks about his own difficulties, he may not be able to save face. .

Fortunately, Sheng Qidong, who was on the sidelines, would not see his best friend outside. When Wen Liang took the initiative to bring it up, he talked about their current situation.

"Ah Liang, Wangzi has just finished a long period of documentary work recently, and we have just paid off some of the debts we owed. But don't worry, Li Wang will often dig out the materials we shot. In post-production, editing and modification, we haven’t given up yet!”

It seems that Sheng Qidong, the little creative genius who was once in college, has matured a lot in the past few years.

The couple's hands slowly held each other under the table.

so good……

Wen Liang secretly expressed her heartfelt joy to her best friend's love, but then she couldn't help but feel sad...

She was silent for two seconds, and then asked with concern:

"By the way, Dongdong, after you and Wangzai finish shooting the documentary, what are your next arrangements?"

The two looked at each other, Sheng Qidong shrugged and said:
"There are no big projects for the time being, but there are usually one or two small films every month, and the difference is enough."

According to the general market situation, for a commercial that costs 10 yuan, the director's fee is [-]%. In addition, they are a husband and wife team, with one director and one producer, so they can really save a lot.

Wen Liang was thinking about whether to introduce Li Wang and the others to He Tianran now. After all, Hu Yue and Cai Jueming had successfully turned around through "The Wild One", and they were both still filming in Hengdian, taking every job. But now Wen Liang is entangled with her relationship with He Tianran, and hesitant to say this.

And Sheng Qidong was like a roundworm in her stomach. Just as she was thinking about it, she said:

"A Liang, you and that rich second guy who flies a plane... bah, no, don't you have a good relationship with that Director He? I saw the Vlog you took last year, and he even took you skydiving. Can you I can’t recommend our Wangzi... Oh, why are you dragging me along? It’s not like you don’t have this ability! You’re not inferior to anyone in shooting, so if you have the chance, go for it. Even if you don’t have the chance to create opportunities, you have to go for it! You Say it right, Ah Liang!" Sheng Qidong ignored Li Wang's private pull and could only hold his forehead helplessly.

"Hey, your Wangzi has the character of a scholar. He doesn't eat what he comes with, and he doesn't give up for five buckets of rice. It's a good thing he met you, my dear. Otherwise, with his character, he would really hit a wall in this circle."

Wen Liang held her chin up and was amused by the interaction between the young couple. She said something jokingly. Unexpectedly, when Alan Lu, who was fisting with Boss Park at the side, heard this, he immediately exposed the girl's shorts and said with a smile:

"Ouch, it's really different now that you've become famous. Ah Liang, don't think about what you were like before you met Director He. Now you're educating others. Oh, you've grown up. It’s definitely grown.”

As soon as these words came out, cheerful laughter filled the private room again. Only Wei Xing knew that there must be something wrong. Seeing Wen Liang's expression change slightly, he immediately coughed twice while holding his rice bowl. .

"Cough cough..."

Alan Lu: "What's wrong, Brother Xingzi?"

Wei Xing: "Ahem~ Well, it's a bit spicy. Did you order a particularly spicy pot?"

Alan Lu was even more happy when he heard this, "No, Xingzi, you are also a talent. How come you can get spicy even if you have a dry mouth?"

The group of people burst out laughing again, and Wei Xing was about to cry but had no tears left.

After Li Wang stopped laughing, he relaxed a little. After all, it was really not like a man to let his girlfriend do everything for him. After thinking about it, he found an excuse and said to Wen Liang:
"Sister Liang, is this Director He the one who did our homework when we graduated and came to help my buddy of ours? You should have known him at that time. I feel like you had a good relationship at that time."

Wen Liang was startled, "Do you still remember him?"

Li Wang poured himself a glass of wine and nodded:

"Remember, he was wearing a suit at the time. We asked him to play a small role, and later he helped Lao Cai shoot a scene. It was quite impressive. By the way, weren't Lao Cai and Lao Hu also on the crew of your drama? ? I don’t know if Lao Hu remembers it, but Lao Cai will definitely not forget this matter, and he didn’t even mention it? "

After saying that, he raised his wine glass and bumped it with Wen Liang.

The girl raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp, and said in a low voice:

"I mentioned it, but...someone just didn't remember it."

Li Wang was about to speak when he suddenly felt his thigh under the table being pinched and stopped talking.

If Wei Xing's warning just now wasn't obvious enough, everyone at the table could see the disappointed emotion flashing across Wen Liang's face.

As the big brother at this table, Alan Lu must be concerned about this situation. He thought about it and asked insinuatingly:

"By the way, Ah Liang, speaking of Director He, your road show today is so important, why didn't you see him?"

"I don't know, he's so busy, who knows what he's doing?"

Wen Liang answered impatiently.

There was sudden silence in the private room, everyone looked at each other, and finally Alan Lu said with a smile:
"Oh, Director He has helped you so much, right? Now he is your boss after all. Now that you have finally gotten up, don't lose face with the leader of your company like before. There is no need... …”

Originally, Wen Liang was in a state of confusion when she remembered a vague memory today. Now after hearing these words, she felt even more uncomfortable. This prompted her to lose control and she vented loudly:

"Lu Fangfang, if you know anything, just advise me! Is this my fault?! This is obviously not my fault. I have been patient enough and humble enough in front of him! What else do you want me to do? When will I treat someone How can a man live like this? Is it possible that I still treat him like a cow or a horse? Why do you have to mention him in front of me?! We are meeting friends today, what does it have to do with him?!"

After saying these words, Wen Liang seemed to think it was not enough, so he picked up a bottle of beer at hand, raised his head and drank it.

……

……

The words were divided into two parts. In a gym not far from home, He Tianran was lying on a dumbbell bench, his chest rising and falling, his hands holding the barbell tightly, and doing bench presses.

"It can't be done, it can't be done. Come on, do me a favor."

Behind him and above, Xue Yong helped him return the last bit of the barbell to its position and said with a smile:

"Okay, bench press [-] kilograms. You are still recovering. Can I give you two [-] kilogram weight loss tablets?"

"Okay, hoo~" He Tianran lay down on the chair and exhaled, and continued: "I thought I could still form a group at [-] kilograms last year, but I didn't expect that my crotch would be stretched like this after doing two this year."

"Okay, okay, a hero doesn't mention his bravery in the past, so take your time. By the way, have you asked Wen Liang about the class reunion?"

Xue Yong asked while helping him replace the iron plate at one end of the barbell.

"I asked, but... well, just set the time based on her absence."

"Don't bother me. I've been dating for a few months and you don't have any time? No...Brother Tianran, I'm not talking about you. You said you are such a successful director, why do you date an actress like this? How hard is it? Isn’t that nonsense? I have a buddy who is also in this business. With just one phone call, other actresses can go to the Hilton at night to listen to his narration of characters!”

He Tianran, who was lying down, rolled his eyes at him, "Why don't you introduce me to this brother of yours? I'll learn from him."

"Hehe~"

Xue Yong giggled twice and changed the topic:

"When it's all done later, let's go take a dip in the sauna. Once you've sweated out, I'll make sure you lose another three pounds. We can have a good drink at dinner time. If you go back later, the family won't care about you, right?"

These two days happened to be the National Day holiday. Yesterday, Bai Wenyu asked Cao Aiqing to go out for sketching. He was not at home these two days. It was rare for him to have leisure, so he agreed:
"Sure, as long as your guy doesn't urge you to go back while you're still drunk."

"Damn it, if she doesn't feel at ease when you are around me, then I won't have any friends around me who can make her feel at ease in this world. Come on, get it done, let's continue."

Hearing this, He Tianran raised his hand to hold the lever again. He gave it a try. Seventy kilograms was just right for him now.

But just when he was about to exert his strength, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket rang. He took it out and saw that it was a contact he rarely saw nowadays - Boss Park.

With some doubts in his heart, he answered the phone.

Xue Yong on the side only heard what he said: "Long time no see, bro", "Hey, congratulations", "Now", "You can do it when you are free", "I will definitely go", "Send me the message on your mobile phone." Then he hung up the phone after saying "address location".

When Xue Yong heard that something was wrong, he said anxiously: "Why, we brothers have finally been looking forward to a night of indulgence, and you want to fuck me?"

"Hey, a big brother is engaged. He has set up a table of wine in a hot pot restaurant for me to come over. How about you come with me and have a couple of drinks? After drinking, we can take a bath or a sauna or something. This Isn't that okay? I'm so jealous of you."

After making this arrangement, Master Xue beamed with joy and said:
"Oh, I just like having my brother with you in your plan. Let's go, go, go."

"Don't worry, I'm pushing two..."

"What are you pushing? Push, don't keep people waiting."

Xue Yong was impatient. It was obvious that this guy was frustrated because he had been controlled by Bai Tingting for a long time at home. (End of chapter)
